Book Synopsis Teaching Conflict Resolution with the Rainbow Kids Program by : Barbara Porro
Download or read book Teaching Conflict Resolution with the Rainbow Kids Program written by Barbara Porro and published by Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the view that making social concepts and feelings concrete would help children in primary grades to take turns, cooperate, and solve their problems respectfully, this curriculum uses a story about the Rainbow Kids, an imaginary community of children, to introduce children to social concepts and conflict resolution skills. The Rainbow Kids experience emotions that are conveyed by the weather around them. These simple "sunny" and "cloudy" metaphors turn abstract notions of behavior into physical expressions young children can easily comprehend. Part 1 of the curriculum guide describes the impetus for the program, discusses how the program works, summarizes the story, and details the procedures involved in presenting the program. Part 2 contains the seven lessons and two activities comprising the program; this part includes sample program materials in six appendices, and lists selected resources for elementary school teachers. Part 3 is a separate booklet for students containing "The Rainbow Kids" story. (Contains 15 references.) (KB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's students need to learn more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic.

This book presents a nine-step, problem-solving approach to help educators not only create such a program, but also shape the school climate to sustain and nurture it. Combining three decades of work with individual schools and districts, authors Bernard Novick, Jeffrey S. Kress, and Maurice J. Elias provide experienced insight to overcoming obstacles to social-emotional learning and character education programs. Their organized approach deals with the implementation process stage by stage, including: * Assessing your school's readiness for change * Setting goals for your program * Anticipating details and roadblocks * Obtaining feedback to modify your implemented program * Creating high standards for accomplishment in academics and character Any educator who is confused by the avalanche of different terminologies and methodologies surrounding social-emotional learning will benefit from this book. This practical and concise guide will help educators create an effective and goal-oriented environment in every school, one where students, staff, and parents are continually sustained in a caring community of learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For courses in the Guidance and Management of Young Children.

The author thoroughly discusses children's conflicts, emphasizing that peer and community culture make up the foundation for preventing and resolving conflict, and advocates teaching conflict resolution skills via a "three-layer-cake" of understanding, management, and resolution. Coverage presents ways to create a caring classroom - both in physical environment and curriculum, to work with other adults in a child's life, and to implement peer mediation. Throughout, the material stresses the need to understand all children in light of applicable theory and current "best practice" in culturally responsive and inclusive classrooms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting that elementary school students can learn to resolve basic everyday conflicts without resorting to verbal or physical aggression, this empathy-based program provides a foundation for resolving problems without the intervention of mediators or adults and for providing written documentation of the solution for parents, administrators, and teachers. The program is designed to be introduced to a class in three to four 30-minute lessons. Children learn to write or draw why they are upset, exchange papers and learn why the other person is upset, write or draw a possible solution, share solutions with the other person, and mark the other person's paper to indicate what they agree to do to help end the conflict. Chapters 1 and 2 of the book explain how the process works. Chapter 3 shows how to use the process in the classroom. Chapter 4 illustrates how to set up basic conflict resolution centers that can be used in a variety of locations within a school. Chapters 5 and 6 tell how to use the process in group or individual counseling and at home. Included in this guide are lesson plans, reproducible worksheets, and posters that illustrate the conflict resolution process. Appended are samples showing how the technique works and answers to commonly asked questions. (KB)

Book Synopsis Conflict Resolution Education: a Guide to Implementing Programs in Schools, Youth-Serving Organizations, and Community and Juvenile Justice Settings by : Donna Crawford
Download or read book Conflict Resolution Education: a Guide to Implementing Programs in Schools, Youth-Serving Organizations, and Community and Juvenile Justice Settings written by Donna Crawford and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe and orderly environments in our Nation's schools are essential to promoting high standards for learning and ensuring that all children have the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. No teacher should ever fear to walk into a classroom, and no child should ever stay home from school because he or she is afraid. Too often, however, young people face conflicts before, during, and after school. They are subjected to bullying, teasing, and senseless, sometimes fatal, disputes over clothing and other possessions. Many of these conflicts either begin at school, or they are brought into school from the home or the community. A growing body of evidence suggests that we are not powerless to prevent these destructive behaviors. We can intervene successfully to prevent conflicts from escalating into violent acts by providing young people with the knowledge and skills needed to settle disputes peacefully. Conflict resolution education can help bring about significant reductions in suspensions, disciplinary referrals, academic disruptions, playground fights, and family and sibling disputes. It is important to understand that conflict resolution education is a critical component of comprehensive, community-based efforts to prevent violence and reduce crime. Conflict Resolution Education: A Guide to Implementing Programs in Schools, Youth-Serving Organizations, and Community and Juvenile Justice Settings was developed for educators, juvenile justice practitioners, and others in youth-serving organizations to heighten awareness of conflict resolution education and its potential to help settle disputes peacefully in a variety of settings. A joint project of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education, this Guide provides background information on conflict resolution education; an overview of four widely used, promising, and effective approaches; and guidance on how to initiate and implement conflict resolution education programs in various settings. As adults, we cannot solve young people's problems for them. We can, however, provide them with the knowledge, skills, and encouragement to resolve conflicts in a nonviolent manner, using words instead of fists or weapons. Conflict resolution education includes negotiation, mediation, and consensus decision making, which allow all parties involved to explore peaceful solutions to a conflict. When these problem-solving processes to conflict and strife become a way of life, young people begin to value getting along instead of getting even or getting their way. We urge you to help make our schools and our communities safer places. We invite you to use this Guide as a means of working with your schools, community organizations, and other youth-serving and juvenile justice settings to give our youth the skills, techniques, and tools they need to learn and to resolve disputes in a safe and nonviolent environment. This Guide was developed through a collaboration of the Departments of Justice and Education to advance the development of conflict resolution education programs in schools, youth-serving organizations, and community and juvenile justice settings. It is designed to be a reference tool that offers both basic information and the experience of experts in the field of conflict resolution to assist educators and other youth-serving professionals in building effective conflict resolution education programs. The Guide is based on a shared vision that youth of all ages can learn to deal constructively with conflict and live in civil association with one another. Its goal is to build the capacity of educators in a variety of youth-serving settings to understand and act on the knowledge that conflict resolution skills are essential to successful relationships in all facets of our lives.
